Daphnis & Chloe V/A

"Daphne and Chloe," Maurice Ravel's colorful ballet based on Longos' late-antique romance novel, is one of the greatest works of French music. Conductor Charles Munch devoted much of his career to Ravel's works, and by performing the entire ballet score, he made "Daphne and Chloe" a single rounded work, held together not only thematically but also by its characteristic mood and color scheme.
